I need to find an open source project with poor UX and high personal utility (e.g. in a space I’m comfortable in). I could help!
I will say something I enjoy quite a bit is dictating long rambling monologues to a nearly flawless machine transcription system. Then I make multiple language models try to mock up and wireframe my ideas. They might be mostly or totally non-functional, but still communicate my vision very clearly & effectively.
go after such a project. a lot of the bigger ones can very much use designers, and are sometimes actively looking for contributors. this type of manpower is rare to see in the foss world.
onboarding is sadly not that good most of the time, though.
thats more a lack of people to do the things we need to be done problem, than some secret formula of how to make good UX.
LLMs won’t help here, we need an attitude shift away from excusing GIMP just because its FOSS, and the money/manpower to execute it.
if the good folks at Blender did it, we can do it too if we really wanted to.
